- The table below states the payoffs in profits (of millions of tenge each day) to two grocery supermarkets that are rivals in Almaty, Blue Foods and Ladymart. Each supermarket can take one of two courses: Low prices; or high prices. In each cell, the first payoff is for Blue Foods, and the second payoff is for Ladymart. (a) Assume that neither store observes the pricing by the other store, and solve the game (if it can be solved). Explain your solution step-by-step. Does this outcome maximize total profits to the two stores? (b) Now assume that each store can observe the pricing by the other store, and solve the game.

(d) What is the largest gain possible for the column player?arrow_forwardRefer to the payoff matrix below: B1 B2 A1 2 -1 A2 -2 3 Determine the optimal strategy for both players and the value of the game.arrow_forward
- Needs Complete solution with 100 % accuracy.arrow_forward. The table below states the payoffs in political points (measured in billions of rubles) to two nations that are rivals in world politics, Russia and Ukraine. Each country can take one of two courses: peace; or war. In each cell, the first payoff is for Russia, and the second payoff is for Ukraine. (a) Assume that neither country observes the military strategy of its rival, and solve the game (if it can be solved). Explain your solution step-by-step. Does this outcome maximize total political points? (b) In general, what is a Nash equilibrium? Is the solution to this game a Nash equilibrium? (c) Suppose that each country deposits a fund of two billion rubles with the United Nations. Either country would forfeit this fund if it wages war. What is the solution now to the game? Is this a Nash equilibrium?

Although there is a large technological difference between memory semiconductors, systemsemiconductors can be developed in a short period of time. The number of companies producinghomogeneous quality products has increased.■Question (a) In the Cournot game, when the number of firms increases from 2 to n, compare the output,total output, and profit of each firm with N.E. in the Cournot model. ■Question (b) If the number of companies participating in the semiconductor market increases to infinity,that is, in a perfectly competitive market, what will be the equilibrium point?arrow_forward
- Ant Co. has developed a new product, the A-Warren. It is now time to bring the A-Warren product to market. There are two alternatives for Ant-Co either market the product only in the local area, or market the product nationally. If Ant Co. rolls out the A-Warren product locally and it is successful, then the company will receive $1.4M from product sales. However, if the local rollout is unsuccessful, then the company will lose $100,000 ($0.1M) due to the costs of advertising. If Ant Co. rolls out the A-Warren product nationally and it is successful, then the company will receive $3M from product sales. However, if the national rollout is unsuccessful, then the company will lose $1M due to the costs of advertising. Historically, 40% of Ant Co.'s product rollouts have been successful. Which of the following statements are true? A decision alternative is to rollout the A-Warren product successfully.

Ant Co. could choose to use a focus group to provide feedback on the A-Warren. In the past when Ant Co.'s products were successful (locally or nationally), the focus group predicted this 80% of the time.…arrow_forward
